It has been a pretty tough week, hasn’t it Michigan State fans?
A week ago, Michigan State was projected to win almost 14 conference games. My simulations gave the Spartans close to a one-in-four chance to win or share the Big Ten title. The Green and White were also one of only a handful of teams with the combination of offensive and defensive efficiency that was consistent with former NCAA champions. Life was good.
But, in New Jersey, Michigan State ran into a very hot shooting Scarlet Knights squad.
